Binky’s Friend: Hyperacusis
Chapter 7
White Noise“Why did you summon me here?” Binky asked indignantly.
“Oh yes, about that…” Luna began. A small black velveteen bag containing 3000bits surrounded in aura of gentian violet was tossed at Binky’s feet. A third of the contents spilling out as the shoestring tie came undone “You‘re known as the pacifier. Am I correct?”
“I go by many names, and have many faces.” Binky attempted to sound cryptic, but with Tiara’s voice it sounded more like a hollow peep.
Luna took a sidelong glance at Diamond Tiara and Twistaloo who were still prostrating themselves before her in a an almost playful downward dog position. “I can see that. You are aware ,,God’s Possesion” isn’t a toy?”
“I got permission!” Binky stated this in a manner similar to a child from a broken home that had robbed Peter to pay Paul by asking Rock to play role.
Diamond seemed to perk up in shock at this statement and quickly came to a standing position of attention “Don’t listen to this creep!” Diamond Tiara attempted to point at Binky with an accusing hoof and a withering glare, but her balance was destabilized due to her missing limb so she immediately fell flat on her snoot and almost bit her tongue. “Celestia Damn it!” Diamond pushed herself up with her left arm as she gritted her teeth “This screwball just wants to disguise himself using my body.” Diamond Snorted in a hunched over manner as she tried to regain her footing in tripod mode.
“As you can see I have only one follower,” pointing at Tiara and Twist with her right arm “Besides, you know as well as I do a God such as myself may have need of a paladin or blessed vessel at any time.” Binky failed to mention that the one follower was not Diamond Tiara as that would definitely open up a can of ear worms he did not want hammered home in the royal Canterlot voice. “I can’t help it if her wish wasn’t more specific.”
Binky then quickly put down his right front leg as eyeballs seemed to creep into existence with an asynchronous blink. To say Luna was surprised to see a physical manifestation of phage in the frog and fetlock of the squirrelly young god’s hoof was disturbing. The fact that they wriggled around to get a better look at, if not to inspect the area with lightning fast reflexes, gave her the chills. Then again if the limb was a late addition to the foals body, and judging by the specter of Diamond Tiara’s spirit form that appeared to be the case, it wouldn’t be the first time a god tried to remain on the corporeal side of the far shore by playing corrupt a wish.
“Gaurds! Borderline. NOW!” Having captured the attention of the night guard Luna Continued “Concentrate your barriers around the pacifier.”
“Hey! Listen! That’s no way to treat a friend.” Binky said as she backed away from the clearly deranged alicorn. Her voice having the strangled quality of an annoying fairy or amorous hedgehog.
For some reason I actually like the idea of posting the first 500 words of a chapter before I get started writing it.
